David of Wondering Pilgrim awarded us the Versatile Bloggers Award. at http://wonderingpilgrim.com/2011/10/23/versatile-blogging-award/ David has followed our journey for many months and holds similar values to myself. While David serves The Church of Christ and I am an atheist, our connection shows that while people can hold different beliefs, that shouldn’t be a barrier to friendship and support. Please visit David and see the other great sites he has awarded!

Thank you for the Award, David. I am very touched. 🙂

OH MY GOSH! I know I have been slack very slow with updating this page, but I missed formally acknowledging Salali611’s Versatile Blogging Award totally! Sayali, I am so sorry!

***As a special Thank YOU, I want to acknowledge all my blog buddies who have been very helpful to me on my journey to grow this blog. I’m extending these Three blog Awards to YOU!!! Each of you have been very supportive with your kind words and comments and I have to say THANK YOU! Also, I’m extending same to all other WordPress and Blogspot Bloggers for your resilience. These three awards are for you too. My only request is that you claim them and enjoy displaying them on your blog and give this blog a mention. You may also share them with 15 or more bloggers and mention where you got them from.(more below) *** Thanks to everyone else; non-bloggers and social media friends, you are appreciated too.

I can’t say it better than Elizabeth, so I am blatantly stealing her words! 🙂 I echo her sentiments!

Thank you very much to Momfog who awarded me the P.O.R.N Award not once, but twice! Congratulation to Momfog on achieving 10,000 page views!

I am frightly behind on passing these awards on, but given my current circumstances I trust everyone understands!

Please visit Momfog: she has a great family and decorates the most fantastic cakes.

Yesterday a fellow member of WordPress, Sara of Life with 4 Cats, awarded me the Versatile Bloggers Award. I really enjoy Sara’s writing and while Sara is a “cat person” and I classify myself as a “dog person” we have found we have a lot in common – for example Sara recommended a book series to me and I had already read it and we discovered we both didn’t like the last book for the same reasons. Even across the world, we can find like minded people! She gave an award to one of the same bloggers I thought about!

Being rather new at this, I am flattered to have been awarded. Thank you, Sara, for noticing me.

The Rules for the Award are:

Share 7 things about yourself.

Pass the award along to 7 other deserving award recipients.

Link to the award recipients.

So here we go!

1) Share 7 things about myself – this could be difficult, assuming this needs to be 7 things not already known from my content!

I love the sea. When I was younger, I wanted to join the Navy, but I was 2 inches too short back then. I still am too short, but I think they’ve changed the rules!

I actually do have a sense of humour, I just don’t think it has the opportunity to show through in much of my writing to date.

When I was about 12, I gave mouth-to-nose resusitation to a calf that we had assisted out of the birth canal by tractor. Sadly we lost the calf.

I can’t wear slingback shoes, which is really annoying. I found a co-worker the other day with the same problem, which made me feel as if I am not the only one in the world with funny heels!

My favourite dog was called Bonecrusher, a very bad name for a German Shepherd from a public relations perspective, but he was named after a racehorse.

My bed is squeaking – I must get my son-in-law to fix it before my family come home! For what I hope are obvious reasons!

If I could, I’d live life barefoot.

2) & 3) Share the award with 7 other blogs and link to the recipients – I’ve struggled with this – there are a blogs I would like to award to, but I think receiving the award will not “fit” with their blogs and I do not want to feel I am imposing on them by awarding them, but who am I to really know! So I’m going with it anyway and the recipients can make up their own minds what to do about it! It was hard to decide, as there are others I really like too. But 7 it is! In alphabetical order of title – it seemed a fair way to list!

Devastating the Obvious. Josiah Black has grown on me. Young, intelligent, looks a little like my son and definitely a versatile way with words!

Paradise Preoccupied. Sandra Hanks is a published writer who has a way with words that I absolutely adore. I highly doubt Sandra needs any award from me, but she is always at the top of my reading list! Even published authors need advertising, right?

Piglet in Portugal. PiP writes about living in Portugal and about food. Everything from filling in the local census to a wonderful orange dessert.

I’m adding two honourable mentions: InvisibleMikey and MomFog. Michael needs no introduction and recently was awarded the Stylish Blogger award, but I think he is versatile too. Erin is fighting her WordPress addiction in a very entertaining way!

Sara, you were right – this Awards thing is hard work – took me longer to do this than any of my own writing! 🙂 One of my 7 disclosures should have been that I am a very bad proofreader. AFTER I contacted my 7 recipients, I noticed I had left an error in the comment from changing the text. It should, of course, have read, “.. you as one…”!

2010

The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:

Robyn, for such a good and successful blog i’m going to pass on the ” The Rebekah Loper Award ” it’s not passed on lightly 🙂 so you are one of few to have.
You can read about it at my first link and pick up the award at the second link.
Would you please put a link back to ” Rebekah Loper ” in your awards page, and you can mention me if you want to 🙂

I think you are such an incredibly strong and enduring woman. To have been what you’ve been through and persevere publicly is a feat deserving much more than an award, and I wish you the best in overcoming the ridiculous policies made by men in high places.

Finally, you deserve this award because, despite all of that ^ , you’re always able to see the humor in life. And that’s what being a P.O.R.N. Star is all about. 😀

I HAVE FIXED YOUR NAME!!!! I felt so bad when you pointed it out. I always did wonder what on earth a frog had to do with being a mum (we use mum, not mom) and then when I realised – DUH @ me! MomFOG – makes perfect sense NOW!
